Hot shot question

This hot shot is new to us. We’ve actually ran our numbers 2 years this coming march but recently hired his brother and uncle to do hot shotting. One has a cdl and one does not so it’s been a lot of learning on our end as to what is acceptable and what is not, I guess eventually we get it all squared away. But like I said his brother been driving less than 2 months and has been inspected 3 times. The crazy thing is he has all brand new equipment. But we were warned hot shots are messed with more often and we’ve also see it with our own eyes.

 

Thankfully he did not get a ticket but he did get a warning.

 

It’s been crazy out here with the fuel and spot market rates but I will say our brother has been getting loads all day for 2.00-2.30 a miles and doesn’t have near the expense we do.
